DON’T TOUCH THE BACK OF DAVID LETTERMAN’S NECK!

PAIN IN THE NECK DEPT.: Just discovered another weird David Letterman quirk — he’s scared to death of anyone touching the back of his neck! He’s apparently fearful it might cause an old injury to flare up, so guests are warned before going onstage NEVER to touch his neck. And whenever anyone gets him in a bear hug, Dave often whispers in their ear: “Don’t touch the back of my neck!”
